Hubby - "for what ? "
Me - " i am going to prepare Gazar Halwa."
Hubby - " Halwa,..? No no leave it , i will prepare . "
Me - " ummm okay,.."
Once milk starts boiling and the grated carrots are in the kadhai,
Hubby-" From where did you get the idea to prepare Halwa , who prepared at home ? "( he knows me so well . and he is so correct ,when it comes to sweet dishes he knows i dont have any interest unless ,.. .)
Me- ( blushing ) " today while talking to Neha on skype she told me that she got khoa and fresh carrots from nearby farm and she prepared halwa,..so you see and thus i got carrots and ,.."
This was the conversation we had in kitchen few days back,and i was really awed when hubby asked me this question how come Halwa suddenly,.i mean he knows me so well ,..:-)
